Unfortunately anyone under the age of about 40 won't remember the "good old days" Corbyn is talking about returning to, with his talk of re-nationalizing industries, re-opening coal mines, etc...

The "good old days" that is of the 3 day working week, power cuts, rubbish bags piling up on the streets infested with rats, secondary picketing, etc....

I for one do remember.

THIS MAN IS DANGEROUS!!


At least Union membership is less significant than in the late 1970s:

Indeed the main bastion of Union membership is now the public sector, 55%, compared to 14% in the private sector.
